Red face My Take On Things

As if it mattered more than anyone else...

PBASIC of course is a programming language. I don't care what a scripting language or compile language is, as long as a computer reads it. Also, any scripting language could be compiled if someone wanted to make one, it would just loose portability(someone scream at me if I'm wrong). Some made a comment earlier about PBASIC being limited and powerful. I would have to strongly disagree. A good comment can be made to just about any programming language, though PBASIC has some things that are made easier to handle than other languages,(I can't really think of any, but I'm sure there is something) it isn't really powerful at all. It only has basic and crappy methods of calling sub routines with no built in way of returning values or passing parameters, no real "stack", and memory management. Of course all of that isn't really needed for a robot, but if it was available, I would have done something so much more powerful for the robot.

I wanna know if anyone is using C#? I picked up some books on it a while back and found it to be a good programming language thats great for creating windows applications, and is still maintains low level options. There is an "unsafe" keyword that lets you do certain things that are generally prone to error like pointer management(I think). Also it has some XML support. It seems like an all around good language for Web Development, Application Development, and even decent for games. All under the .NET standards. I think C# would be the next language I would learn if I decide to move on anytime soon. Then I could say I program in "C/C++/C#."
